About : CLEAR II GLP

CLEAR II works collaboratively with host governments to provide technical assistance to bring about meaningful reductions in child labor. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) and strives to support the goals described in USDOL’s most recent child labor report.

Winrock International, along with partners Lawyers Without Borders and Veritè, uses an approach with three integrated pillars:

  1. Authority to Act: Strengthened Legal Framework — Host country governments will have the capacity to analyze legislation and produce a clear legal and institutional framework that adheres to international standards and commitments;
  2. Ability to Act: Improved Enforcement — Technical assistance that supports government ministries, institutions and industries to strengthen current judicial and legal frameworks to enhance their ability to enforce child labor laws; and
  3. Incentive to Prevent: Better Supported Social and Economic Programs — CLEAR II will enhance governments’ capacity to effectively implement National Action Plans to address child labor and mainstream child labor reduction programming through line ministries.
